Bezawit has severe scoliosis. Her lung capacity is 45% of normal, her growth stunted. Her twin sister towers over her. The girls are living with their grandmother and other relatives in a one-room house. Bezawit is #12 in her class at a government school, and wants to be a doctor.
Wow! What a beautiful child. It’s the personal description and picture that has me going for my wallet (I can’t afford much, but every donation helps, right?)
